The
origins of raku can be traced back hundreds of years to Japan, where
it was used as the traditional method of creating clay bowls for
the tea ceremony. Over the years potters have embraced and adapted
the methods, celebrating the remarkable but unpredictable results
achieved using raku techniques. This book considers the origins
of raku before offering over 300 glaze recipes, giving the potter
an invaluable source of information and advice. Other potters also
share their ideas and, with one hundred photographs of raku-fired
pieces, this book offers inspiration to all potters.
